Separations Technology IX: New Frontiers in Media, Techniques, and Technologies
Data Evento: 05/03/2017  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Grand Real Santa Eulalia Hotel Albufeira, Portugal


This conference series began in 1985 and the overall goal remains the same: To bring together researchers working in the frontier areas of a variety of separation technologies.

We hope to attract researchers working in adsorption, absorption, bioseparations, chromatography, crystallization, distillation, membranes, novel technologies, etc. The focus will be on new separation media, new separation techniques and new technologies breaking out. These aspects are key to the challenges appearing in carbon capture and sequestration, desalination, and increasing application needs in bioseparations among others. The issues of sustainability, energy consumption and process intensification will be ever present in all of our deliberations.

A very large fraction of the current research in separations involves membranes and adsorbents. New separation media being discovered or developed impact both areas. Therefore in this conference there will be significant attention to the developments in separation media and the role of modeling in such activity. The nature of the separation device and the separation technique employed is crucial to the exploitation of the novel separation media. What novel separation technologies are breaking out is another area of importance.

We expect high and continued interest in the conference on Separations Technology since it is such a crucial part of a number of major industrial processes around the world.

FLOWING MATTER 2017
Data Evento: 23/01/2017  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP)


Following the previous successful Flowing Matter Conferences (December 2014 and January 2016), Flowing Matter 2017 will take place again in Porto, Portugal.

Flowing matter lies at the crossroads between industrial processes, fundamental physics, engineering and Earth Sciences. Depending on the microscopic interactions, an assembly of molecules or of mesoscopic particles can flow like a simple Newtonian fluid, deform elastically like a solid or behave in a complex manner. When the internal constituents are active, as for biological entities, one generally observes complex large-scale collective motions. The phenomenology is further complicated by the invariable tendency of fluids to display chaos at the large scales or when stirred strong enough. A fundamental understanding of flowing matter is still missing impeding scientific progress, effective control on industrial processes, as well as accurate predictions of natural phenomena. Flowing matter frequently presents a tight coupling between small-scale structures and large-scale flow urging for a unifying approach. The Action will coordinate existing research efforts into a synergetic plan of collaborations and exchanges to develop an innovative multi-scale approach able to encompass the traditional micro-, meso-, and macro-scales descriptions. Breakthroughs in the understanding of flowing matter will impact on fundamental key scientific issues, such as the glass, the elasto-plastic and the jamming transitions, as well as industrial applications including health, energy, cosmetics, detergents, food, paints, inks, oil and gas.

The conference will cover the three main topics of the COST Action: complex fluids, active matter and complex flows. You are welcome to submit contributions in any of these three areas.
Contributions that cover interdisciplinary aspects, i.e. that cross two or more areas are particularly encouraged.

Polymerfest - 40 years of "Polymer Research" at University of Palermo
Data Evento: 30/08/2009  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Palermo (Italy)


Forty years ago, with the arrival of Giuseppe Marrucci and, afterwards, of Domenico Acierno and
Giuseppe Titomanlio at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Palermo, the little story of polymer research in Palermo begun. Almost without noticing it, and always with the same enthusiasm, these first forty years have passed, years where the research fields have continuously enlarged and diversified in full accordance with the international research trends: from rheological works (in particular the work focused on the elongational flow), to processing, polymer blends and LCPs, from thermomechanical and photoxidative degradation to recycling (one the first groups active in this field), from polymer-radiations interactions to polymer solidification kinetics, from composites, to nanocomposites, biodegradable polymers and tissue engineering scaffolds. In time, collaboration with prestigious national and international research groups helped us to grow. A work roughly summarized in several books, hundreds of papers and meeting presentations, many plenary lectures and keynotes which testify the esteem and the affection of the scientific community. Esteem and affection shown also by the point that the Group was chosen to organize several (and crowded!) national and international meetings (even though this may be due especially to Palermos charm!). However, the same affection is shown by all those Companies especially from Sicily - with whom we had fruitful and interesting collaboration and that have funded a significant part of our research activity.
After forty years, those first young guys, who enthusiastically started studying those strange things which rheology and viscoelasticity are, are going to retire, and others, young and less young, with the same enthusiasm, are going to start the path of more forty years.
We wanted to utilize this symbolic date to gather all those who guided us and stood by us in these decades: let us celebrate together and remember years of hard work, but always pleasant and made glad by many friends.

Week of Rheology
Data Evento: 17/08/2009  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Reykjavik, Iceland


Rheo Iceland 2009 combines 2 conferences and 2 courses to "The Week of Rheology": the Rilem International Symposium on Rheology of Cement Suspensions such as fresh Concrete and the 18th Nordic Rheology Conference on suspension rheology. The development of rheology of cement based materials has been substantial during the last decade, as the building industry has welcomed it to be a long needed solution for different conditions. There are always new dispersing additives coming on the market, or for that reason different types of materials, like shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA).

Stabilizers are a good example for the need of rheology as they have even been named viscosity enhancing agents, but some even reduce viscosity (or at least the plastic viscosity) as others might have no significant influence or even as expected, increase the viscosity. The Kyoto protocol might greatly influence the quality of cement in nearest future, in particular regarding the cement admixture interaction problems. By combining the two conferences the participants will have unique opportunitiy to explore different specific subjects since the Rilem participants will have access to the NRC conference and vice versa. Both conferences will share the invited lectures during the opening lectures. The conferences will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland

Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the 9th European Conference on Liquid Crystals and related topics, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 2- 6, 2007.
This conference is intended to provide a forum for all those who are active in any field of Liquid Crystals Science and Technology, and related topics, to meet and exchange ideas. In spite of the European character of the ECLC, there is no restriction on the attendance of delegates from all over the world. Young scientists are strongly encouraged to participate.
The ECLC used to be a winter conference. We chose to organize the ECLC 2007 in summer, instead, to increase the time gap from the ILCC and to take advantage of the fact that sun, not snow, is the main ingredient of Portuguese climate. Lisbon is known for its luminosity; the light, the unique atmosphere and the climate offer a marvellous environment to make the ECLC 2007 a fruitful and memorable event.
The Scientific Program will include an opening lecture, a number of plenary, keynote and invited lectures by distinguished scientists highlighting selected topics and new developments in the field, and contributed oral and poster communications. An exhibition area will be provided for LC related companies to display and demonstrate their products and the latest technical advances in the field.
Social and cultural events, as well as a conference excursion and dinner, will be arranged for participants and for accompanying persons.
I am looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon.

3rd International Meeting of the Hellenic Society of Rheology
Data Evento: 10/06/2001  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Patras, Greece


The Conference was a special one, since it was dedicated to Professor Andreas Acrivos, one of the most influential chemical engineers of the last 50 years, on the occasion of his retirement from the City College of the City University of New York, where he held the A. Einstein Chair at the Levich Institute.

Professor Acrivos' research interests lie in the general areas of Applied Mathematics, Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, Transport Phenomena and, currently, in the rheology of concentrated suspensions and the study of the effective properties of two-phase materials.

He has published more than 180 papers in well-reputed journals, and has graduated a large number of Ph.D. students who, in their majority, have become leading scientists and engineers.

His academic family includes more than 400 members.

He has received a number of distinguished awards, which include election to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The meeting was attended by over 100 participants, out of which 30 were former students of Professor Acrivos or members of his academic family.

They had been invited by the HSR and participated in the Conference with invited talks.

The program included also plenary lectures, oral presentations and a poster session, on topics which covered all areas of the general theme of Rheology: Polymer melts and solutions, colloids and suspensions, molecular modeling and simulations, and experimental, theoretical, and computational fluid dynamics.

A complete list of participants, as well as the final program of the Conference is posted.

The Abstracts of the presentations given in the Conference were compiled in a Book, which is also posted. Extended versions of some of the papers presented in the Conference have been submitted for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics (JNNFM), which is expected to appear within the year.

The Organizing and Scientific Committees of the Conference are grateful to Professor Ken Walters, editor of JNNFM, for providing this opportunity in honor of Professor Acrivos. In addition to the Scientific Program, the Social Program was also interesting.

This included a tour to the Archaeological Site of Olympia, a reception by the ICE/HT-FORTH Director and Researchers followed by dinner, and the Formal Conference Dinner on June 13th, where HSR and Professor Acrivos celebrated his birthday.

During the Conference, commemorative plaques were awarded to Professor Acrivos by the Vice Rector of the University of Patras (Professor C. Vayenas) and the Director of ICE/HT-FORTH (Professor A. Payatakes).

Joint Conference of Italian, Australian, Slovenian Rheologists
Data Evento: 20/05/1998  (Evento Terminato)
Luogo: Centro Congressi, Stazione Marittima, Trieste


The Joint Conference of Italian, Austrian and Slovenian Rheologist foolowed the tradition of the previous National Conference on Rheology, which have been organized every year by Rheotech and the Italian Group of Rheology.
As in the past, this Conference was essentially devoted to bring together accademic and industrial researchers from different fields of recognized relevance with the expectation that they will learn from one another and discover ways to work together synergistically.
At the same time, this Joint Conference represented the natural continuation of the Rheoworkshops which have been held every year within the Alpe-Adria frame.
At the closing session of the 5 Alpe-Adria Rheoworkshop (Novo mesto, May 28-29 1997), it was suggested that Trieste would be the venue for the 1998 meeting and this is another reason why both councils of Rheotech and the Italian Group of Rheology decided to organized the next national Conference in a form suitable to favour the scientific exchange and to consolidate the international experience and role of the National Groups, in accordance with the spirit of the European Society of Rheology.

The scientific program included oral and poster communications on various topics of fondamental and pratical interest together with an equipment exhibition. More than 60 scientists from 6 countries attended this meeting and contributed to its success.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I wish to espress our gratitude to all the individuals and organizations that have contributed to the success of the Conference.
In particular, I wish to acknowledge the contribution of Eniricerche and University of Trieste for their financial support.

The next Conference will be organized by the Italian Society of Rheology, which gathers the inheritages of Rheotech and of the Italian Group of Rheology, with the cooperation of other national societies of the Southern Europe, and will take place in September 1999 in Calabria.
